A Chapter a Day w/ Connie St. John

S1 Ep137 - Matthew 15


Listen Later

Jesus is confronted yet again by the Pharisees because He and His disciples aren’t washing their hands before they eat. (Which, admittedly, is kind of yucky.)

Jesus makes an important point in verse 18: “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart and these defile them.”

Also in this chapter is an illustration of faith by a Canaanite Woman. Jesus tries to tell her that He’s only sent to the lost sheep of Israel. But she persists in petitioning Him and her great faith leads to Him granting her request.

Lastly, Jesus miraculously feeds four thousand with a few small fish and seven loaves of bread.
